Ji Yunshu stayed up all night reading an old-fashioned, melodramatic, angsty novel. When she woke up, she found herself transmigrated into the book as the male lead's wicked original wife.
<...Chapter 20 It’s because of you that I’m worried
After finally cleaning up, Ji Yunshu was almost numb.
She wore a scarlet dress with gold woven flowers and a set of red jade jewelry, which made her face look like a bright morning flower and dazzling.
Mother Li was very satisfied: "Our wife must be the most beautiful among the guests. We must let those people know that those who didn't marry you were blind."
It can be seen that although Mother Li does not say it out loud, she is very jealous of Zhao Heng's behavior in her heart.
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "You're right, he's not blessed."
It would be fine if Zhao Heng didn't marry her and could live a good life with Yao Ruolan, but now it seems that he is unlucky, isn't he?
I don’t know what the final result will be?
Ji Yunshu finally persuaded Zhao Shen to go with him. Zhao Shen was reluctant at first. He would occasionally go out of the house over the years, but he had never attended other people's banquets.
But Ji Yunshu insisted, she felt that Zhao Shen staying in the yard all the time was not good for his physical and mental health.
Seeing that she really didn't mind that his going would embarrass her, Zhao Shen agreed.
If he didn't go anyway, people would laugh at her for marrying a cripple, so it would be better for her to show up openly.
When Madam Yao heard that Zhao Shen was also going to the banquet, she knew that he wanted to support Ji Yunshu, and she felt indescribably complicated.
Lord Zhao was very happy. He felt that he had made the right decision to marry this daughter-in-law, and his son could finally take this step.
The wives of the second and third wives and several girls also went together.
The banquet at the princess's mansion gathered almost all the dignitaries in the capital.
For the little girls, it is not only a rare opportunity to go out, but also a good opportunity to show themselves to everyone.
Maybe the mistress of some family will take a fancy to her and her marriage will be arranged.
The second wife's legitimate daughter, Zhao Fu, is coming of age this year. The third wife's legitimate daughter, Zhao Fei, is thirteen years old, and the concubine's daughter, Zhao Xuan, is fourteen years old. None of them have yet been arranged to get married.
Therefore, the ladies of both rooms paid special attention to dressing up the little girls beautifully.
Zhao Fu greeted Ji Yunshu warmly when she saw her. "Sister-in-law is here. You look so beautiful in this outfit."
Because she had come to remind him to visit Yao before, Ji Yunshu remembered her kindness, and it was not a bad thing to have a good relationship with his sister-in-law.
She deliberately said, "Could it be that I am not beautiful on weekdays?"
"Sister-in-law is always beautiful, but she is especially beautiful today."
Zhao Fu blinked her eyes and said mischievously.
Ji Yunshu laughed: "Our eldest daughter is really sweet."
After the two of them made such a fuss, the remaining two girls no longer felt so unfamiliar with Ji Yunshu.
The Marquis's Mansion is not far from the Princess's Mansion, and it only takes a quarter of an hour to get there by carriage.
Ji Yunshu was worried that Zhao Shen would not be used to being in crowded places, so she went to help him push the wheelchair.
Who would have thought that Zhao Heng would take over this task on his own initiative and take great care of Zhao Shen.
He also said to Ji Yunshu: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I will take good care of big brother."
His expression was calm, without any resentment, as if the conflict between them had never happened before.
It is true that when you meet someone after three days, you should look at him with new eyes.
The male protagonist's growth rate is really extraordinary.
Ji Yunshu can't say that I'm worried because of you.
She said gracefully, "Thank you very much, second brother."
After saying that, he reminded Jingzhe who was following Zhao Shen: "There are many people at the banquet, so you should also be more careful and don't blame the Second Young Master for everything."
Jingzhe responded quickly.
Zhao Shen saw Madam Yao waiting for her and urged, "Okay, go quickly. I'll be fine."
Ji Yunshu then came over to Madam Yao.
In front of everyone, Mrs. Yao is naturally an excellent mother-in-law.
After waiting for half a day, he didn't feel dissatisfied at all, and jokingly said to Ji Yunshu: "It's obvious that Shen Ge'er married a good wife. Finally, someone loves her."
Ji Yunshu feigned shyness and said, "What nonsense are you talking about, mother? He doesn't like to go out on weekdays, so I just gave him a few more words of advice."
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard someone say, "Young wife is thin-skinned and can't stand being teased. Now that you're here, why are you blocking the door? Why don't you go in quickly?"
Ji Yunshu looked up and saw a middle-aged woman in gorgeous clothes standing at the door, greeting them with a smile.
It turned out to be Princess Taining who came to greet her in person.
Seeing Yao tighten her hand holding the handkerchief, Ji Yunshu narrowed his eyes.
Speaking of which, Princess Taining and Prince Yong are brothers from the same mother.
Therefore, it is hard to say whether this face is given to the Changxing Marquisate or Yao herself.
Yao reacted very quickly, almost immediately releasing the handkerchief in her hand, and stepped forward to salute and say respectfully, "How can you be worthy of being received by the princess herself? Today is the birthday girl, and it's our turn to go in and pay our respects."
The eldest princess personally helped her up and said in a warm tone, "I'm not seventy or eighty years old, so why should I be called the birthday star? This year is not a full birthday. I just have nothing to do, so I'm holding a party to liven up everyone's life."
The two walked in while talking.
Ji Yunshu and others followed behind.
Seeing her looking at the backs of the Princess and Yao, wondering what she was thinking, Zhao Fu whispered, "Sister-in-law, you might not know this, but Madam was the Princess's study companion before she got married. Even though things happened to the Yao family later, the Princess and Madam have always had a good relationship."
Ji Yunshu really didn't know about this.
But this also explains how Yao and Prince Yong knew each other.
"So that's how it is. I was wondering why someone like the Princess would come to greet us in person?"
Zhao Fu laughed and said, "It's okay for us. Sister-in-law, you grew up by the Queen Mother's side and have seen all kinds of battles. What's this?"
Ji Yunshu said calmly, "That's different. The eldest princess is respectful to the queen mother, but she's not necessarily this affectionate."
Zhao Fu didn't take it seriously. "We're close friends, so naturally our friendship is unmatched. I heard from my mother that when Madam gave birth to my second brother, the eldest princess personally visited us and was incredibly worried."
Ji Yunshu sighed, Lord Zhao is such an honest man.
After entering the princess's mansion, Ji Yunshu and a few other girls went to pay their respects to the princess, greeted the elders, and then left.
The little girls all had their own best friends, and soon they were chatting enthusiastically in groups of three or four.
Ji Yunshu sat aside to admire the flowers.
Just when I was bored, I heard a voice beside my ear: "Isn't this Miss Ji? Oh, no, you are now the wife of the Crown Prince of Changxing Marquisate. Why are you sitting here alone? Are you embarrassed to see people?"
Ji Yunshu raised his eyes and saw a girl in a goose yellow skirt standing not far away. After she finished speaking, she covered her lips with a handkerchief and laughed softly.
"Why am I embarrassed to see people?"
Ji Yunshu had thought that someone would gossip about her at the banquet today, but she certainly didn't expect someone to dance directly in front of her.
But when she thought about the identity of the visitor, she felt it was normal again.
The speaker was Xiao Yue, the legitimate daughter of the Prince of Lin'an.
The original body's mortal enemy.
The two of them had disliked each other since childhood. Xiao Yue didn't like Ji Yunshu's spoiled and domineering attitude, and she relied on the Queen Mother's favor to ignore her, a noble lady from the royal family.
Ji Yunshu couldn't stand her thinking that she was of noble status and had her eyes on the top of her head.
The two of them quarreled almost as soon as they met.
Later, Xiao Yue came to the palace less often, and the two of them lived in peace without seeing each other.
Now, when they saw the two of them meet, everyone gathered here intentionally or unintentionally, waiting to watch the fun.
